The importance of pursuing your dreams, passions, and desires, in this world is often played down, to the point that people may start feeling bad or guilty about wanting to chase their dreams. The world around us will tell us how unrealistic our goals are and how difficult they are to achieve. They will make us count how many times we might fail, but they will never tell us how happy we will be when we succeed. People, who block out all the white noise and go for their dreams, are truly inspiring in a world like ours. They are strong and courageous. And many of them stood all alone against the whole world, just to achieve their dreams. One such example is the life and story of Jeff Heller. A musician, IT professional, Real Estate professional, father, and grandfather, Heller had always dreamed of becoming a musician and realized that dream when he watched the Beatles perform on live television for the very first time in the US.
Heller never lost sight of his dream and passion, even with a family to support and take care of, he took on different jobs to support them financially. Pursuing different professions, all the while, staying in touch with his musical side, starting a band, and taking different gigs. He writes about his life and dreams in his book, Life’s Mirror 978-1-951630-01-0. Heller’s story is inspiring and important for people, who are struggling to find a balance in life while trying to achieve their dreams. But why is it so essential for us to go after the things we desire the most in life? How does it benefit us? Well to answer those question, here are some reasons why achieving your dreams is important by Joel Brown, founder of Addicted2Success:
· The secret of living is giving, if you follow your dreams then you will have something worth sharing with others, hope, inspiration, and a meaning to live, and that to me is a great contribution.
· Chasing your dreams will develop your courage. Courage is your fuel to achieve amazing success in life, follow your dreams, and exercise courage. Ensure enough time you will be unstoppable.
· There is a reason why as kids we loved magic and dreams. Stop chasing your dreams and you will forget how it feels to live hopeful and young.
· Great dreamers grow to be independent, learning that they can make a difference all by themselves.
· Dreams can distract you from negative events in life. You will weigh up what is more important, your dreams, or the drama. Drama seems obsolete when you are passionate about following your dreams.
· It gives you something to share and inspire your kids with, you have led by example that anything is possible when you put your mind to it.
· Through accomplishing your dreams you will come to appreciate the experience of failure and know that failure is just part of the success and that it wasn’t all that bad as it was all worth it in the end.
· Regret is a terrible thing, and a dream is powerful enough to bring you to regret if you don’t take the chance to at least follow it.
· Because you are never too old to dream. Age means nothing when we know what we want.
· You become an interesting person, you show others you have meaning, direction, and purpose.
